Re: Is the whirlpool by Samourai (Sparrow wallet and Whirlpool-cli) really blinded?

Using a "Tor proxy" and using "Tor settings management interface", which allows you to manage Tor connections, are two very different things.

They are two things, but it doesn't make much sense to have the former, if you don't have the latter. That's what I meant here:

It doesn't make sense to doubt the blindness.

We connect via Tor, not only to hide our IP addresses, but to register our outputs in a blinded fashion. If we didn't have Tor, we would need more than an IP address, which is impractical.

- This is the part of the code in whirlpool-cli that changes the identity during input registration: https://code.samourai.io/whirlpool/whirlpool-client/-/blob/dex-wp/src/main/java/com/samourai/whirlpool/client/mix/MixClient.java?ref_type=heads#L276.
- Here's the relevant code of Sparrow that ensures identity change when a mix is successful: https://github.com/sparrowwallet/nightjar/blob/08fd60cd5256ce4842701c6c179c18f997fd252f/src/main/java/com/samourai/whirlpool/client/whirlpool/ServerApi.java#L62. (You can search more about "identity", the function that changes identity is changeIdentity)
